This act is limited to a brief encounter and a prescription, which makes it a short, fleeting, medicalized interaction. The result is a negative social imaginary of the physician, the patient and the whole of society. Thus, individuals and society host a negative social imaginary bestowed on doctors and users of the health system.http://www.medwave.cl/link.cgi/Medwave/Enfoques/SaludFamiliar/5975medical practicefamily medicinestructural functionalism |
